Desnetha is one of a growing number of young Guyanese women who, while being keen to pursue formal academic qualifications remain anchored, as well, to entrepreneurial ambitions. Her registered business, Home Base Craft and Nutritious Enterprise is one of the hundreds (perhaps many more) of mostly women-run micro and small businesses that have sprung up in small communities and in humble homes. In the instance of the 26 year-old Desnetha, she is seeking to lay the foundation for what she hopes will be a
sustainable commercial enterprise even as she pursues a course of studies that will lead to a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Southern Caribbean, an academic institution that is owned and operated by the Caribbean Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
